Broken 4TH Gen Cummins Filler Neck

[BentleyDDC]

Hey, just curious if many other suffer from what seems to be a common problem coming through the shop up here in Canada. It seems the plastic filler neck, especially in the cold, is liable to breaking, which then puts the fill nozzle at a strange angle, and prevents your from using an aftermarket dust cap.

Just curious, as I'm wondering how much interest there might be in the kit I've built to fix this issue. A thin stainless steel sleeve lightly presses in, and gets clamped on with a split clamp. Can run it like this, or use a specific sized fuel cap I also made.

Complete assembly.

So... Anyone else see this failure?

It cracked on my 18 and when the dealer changed it the part superseded to the 19-20 PN and my Geno's locking cap no longer fits.

Broke mine a couple years ago , not quite that bad .

Yes and some of those diesel fill nozzles especially at truck stops are brutally big nasty and heavy. No wonder the green filler necks are breaking in the cold

The newer trucks have a different shaped neck, It is still al little tight with truck pump nozzles, but I suspect not going to be the same issue since the neck does not have the protrusion on the top side to break off.

Thats where it happened with me, at a truck stop in Wyoming in 0 degree weather ,filling up with one of those big nasty nozzles . I had went 6 years , but had always filled up at a conventional gas station , got one of those fuel cards for the big truck stops ,and that was my undoing using that big nozzle .

I would be interested in one .

Yes I think I will be staying away from the big nozzles and be very gentle with the filler from here on out. No use to really use them. Most stations here have the small ones

You know that yours is different from the one that is shown above and that yours doesn't break anymore.
Ram upgraded the part a couple years ago.

Very happy to know that thank you. One less thing to worry about in life
